건물의 에너지 효율과 절약을 위해 최근 주목을 많이 받고 있는 가변 풍량 유닛(VAV)에 대해 실제적인 적용을 위한 적분기를 가진 상태 궤환 제어기를 연구한다. 디지털 제어기에 적합하도록 제어기를 개발하게 되며, 디지털 제어기는 결과적으로 대상으로 하는 실내 공간의 온도와 급기 유량으로부터 VAV 유닛 댐퍼의 개도를 조절한다. 설정 온도의 변화와 외부 온도의 변화등의 조건에 대해 모의 실험이 수행되었으며, 단순화된 대상 실내 공간과 댐퍼 구동기의 모델링이 고려되어 제어기의 이득 파라미터와 시스템의 동특성과의 관계를 고찰한다.

A loop duct system is often found in a VAV-HVAC(variable air volume heating, ventilating and air conditioning) design. It is known that the simple T-method is not be applicable to the loop duct system and cannot be used to calculate the flow rate and the pressure drop at each duct section of the loop duct system. In this paper, the extended T-method has been developed and it is found to be applicable to the loop duct system to which the simple T-method cannot be applied. The validity of the extended T-method has been verified by using to solve for a simple, ideal loop duct system for which there exists analytical solution. In addition, the extended T-method is employed to compute the loop duct system of a real building with an area of 380$m^2$. The results show that the computed flow rate at the exit differs from the designed flow rate by a range of -13.6~43.5 %. Consequently, three design factors must be adjusted in order that the flow rate may be balanced. These include the duct sizes, in terms of their lengths and diameters, the sub-duct locations and the positioning of damper which is found upstream of the exit duct.

We propose a control scheme to control the indoor zone temperature via variable air volume (VAV) unit. To control the room temperature, state space model of the conditioned zone which is partitioned into nine artificial sectional regions is derived. The nonlinearity of the damper motion and actuator are considered for the practical use in the state space system description. The temperature control of the room temperature is performed by manipulating the degree of openness of the damper in relation to the local room temperature and the supplied air flow rate. In general, since a local temperature in the conditioned zone is measured, it is required to estimate the temperature values in each regions for the precise temperature control. We thus design a state observer to estimate the regional temperature, and use these values in the controller. The overall control system consists of the state observer based state feedback with the integral control. We compared the control results of the proposed scheme with those of cascade proportional and integral (PI) control, and showed that the scheme achieved precise control of the conditioned system.
